Two years ago today, God gave us the gift of our sweet daughter and made us parents. These past two years have made the rest of my life to this point feel insignificant… there’s just no way to describe how my heart has grown since becoming a momma. Happy Birthday, Evie Bee! As if having our now-2-year-old weren’t...

On Friday, we added a new family member to our home!!! Everyone please meet our beautiful new Great Pyrenees, “Riesling.” She is about 3-4 years old and from a rescue in Georgia, and we’re in love with her already. She was surrendered to a shelter after hours so we know nothing about her first few...

I have some updates to the hallway to share! It’s practically done except for the little finishing touches (hardware, paint, etc.) now! First of all, we installed lighting underneath the cupboards. This way we can 1) fold laundry in the dark, and 2) have a sort of ‘night light’ effect if we need to light...

We have more progress to share with our renovations! David and I opted to install heated floors in the master bathroom because the room only has one air vent for the high velocity heating, and also… if we’re only going to have one bathroom for the rest of our lives, might as well make it...

I have more renovation progress to share with y’all! First of all– the floors in the hallway were installed! They are actually the original floorboards that were in that space before but our contractor carefully took them out and sanded them down before re-installing them. Gorgeous, aren’t they? I love that they are “original” to the...

In addition to making walls in the master bathroom, the crew has made a lot of progress in a new bathroom we’re tucking in the back corner of the house across from Evie’s room. The idea behind the architectural drawings is that one day we’re going to build an addition coming off the right side...

More renovation updates!! Now I get to share how the master bathroom is coming together. Just to remind you, below are the plans the architect drew up, and here is a link to my personal inspiration for what I want it to look like. So below is a picture taken from when you first enter...

More renovation progress to share!! Here’s what the inside of the former doorway to the hallway looks like plastic-ed over. And as you can see from the pic below, we have new support beams for the new walls. Now HERE is where it gets super exciting: Above is a photograph taken from the master bathroom-to-be...

Thought I’d share some updates to the renovation! We had to put in all new floor beams to support the floor. The old ones just weren’t 100%, and why put all this money into a house if it doesn’t have a solid floor? Another big step was cutting a hole in the wall where the...

Hi folks! Before I share how things have been progressing with our major upstairs renovation, I thought I’d show you my “dream” of how I want it to end up looking. I’m lucky to have a husband who supports my insane Houzz/ Pinterest/ magazine flipping for inspiration and here are some of the “winners” we...

Good morning, and Happy Mother’s Day everyone!!! Taking advantage of Daddy and Evie playing outside with the chicks to upload a few pictures of the progress in our big upstairs renovation. These pictures are a bit old now (I can’t wait to share how much has been done!) but I just never seem to...

This is Part 2 of the Walk-In Closet story. So as I mentioned in my last post, first David and I painted the 4 walls and ceiling a calming blue, which I love. Then we hung a great mirror on sale (only $29!) from Kirkland. Next our contractor built some great shelves for us....
